Aaron Pryor v Alexis Arguello 2

[Master]

Just watched the fight for the first time. That was a brutal fight, cannot believe the stamina and punch resistance of both men, first round was a war. Emanuel Steward was in Pryor's corner this time. That was a great fight. What are people memories of that fight?

(but how would he have done against Khan)

my memory is telling me I need to re-watch this. I got a Pryor box set but not here with me.

I was wondering how Pryor would have done with a peak Hatton actually, Khan is not there yet.

I thought Pryor caught a break in the 8th when Arguello landed a right to the body and folded Pryor up. Steele, I believe, called it a low blow, and gave him a break. As I recall, it wasn't low, but then I haven't seen the fight in years.

If you mean where Arguello was deducted a point then the punch was definitely low. He landed loads of shots under the belt, but Aaron was pulling his head down. Pryor never even moaned about them either!

About how a wolf does with an old sheep if you ask me.

I remember Alexis Arguello taking a beating, the 1st round was like Hagler/Hearns. But apart from that it was quite one sided although Alexis Arguello had his moments. The way he went down in the 10th round was one of the things that stood out in my mind. He just sat there and got counted out realizing he just couldn't beat this animal, a bit like John Mugabi vs Marvin Hagler.

Sadly this is my memory as well.

After two savage great fights with the Hawk , i think Alexis just had enough , he knew he was just too small , he threw the kitchen sink at the Hawk to little affect , but WOW what two great fighta . Hatton would be blown away against Pryor within 8 rounds .

AA was cheated out of a 4th title...
That is all.

The commentary in fight 2 says it all, " Pryor has the most stamina i have ever seen, where does he get it from I'll never know" mmm?

The jury is still out on Aaron Pryor, he gets hit far to often and i don't think he beats Whitaker or Mayweather and gets nailed by Tszyu and Pacquaio.

Or Morales being counted out against Pacquaio in their 3rd fight.

Surely Pryor beating Arguello at 140 isn't THAT big a deal? And the whole Ray Leonard ducked him is a little wiffy too.

If Hatton beat Corrales at 140 he'd be slated for it.

I never cared much for Pryor, or Panama Lewis, and I always thought Pryor used drugs to win the first fight. Arguello was one of my favorite fighters so I hated seeing him lose to Pryor, that's all the "memories" I have of either of the 2 fights.
